Firefighters in Honduras have recovered the second body from a collapsed warehouse on the Anillo Periférico, near the Loarque colony in the capital city. The victim was preliminarily identified by family as Félix Núñez, who worked as an accountant for the company that owned the warehouse.
Major Sergio Madrid of the Fire Department reported that Núñez's body was found 12 meters from the first victim, Claudia Suyapa Garay. Firefighters are currently extracting Núñez's body from the debris using a stretcher and will hand it over to the Public Ministry for transport to the judicial morgue.
Once Núñez's body is transferred, the firefighters will resume their search for Karen Godoy, who is believed to be the only person still missing. The search and rescue operation began early Wednesday morning, with firefighters working to locate and save the two individuals who were trapped when the hillside collapsed onto the warehouse.
The incident has prompted a significant response from emergency services, highlighting the dangers associated with unstable terrain and construction in the area. The recovery of the bodies marks a somber conclusion to the immediate search phase, with focus now shifting to the ongoing efforts to find Karen Godoy and the subsequent investigation into the cause of the collapse.
